gopaldawg asked:

So i found a great deal on a pair of cleats on craigslist. The guy lives in baltimore and i’m in new jersey so a local transaction cannot be done. I sort of trust the seller but i still wanna be very cautious in how i give him money for the cleats. What can i do to pay him safely and securely and assure that he sends me the cleats?

Jessica asked:

okay, i recently put my dell inspiron laptop up for sale for $550 (i know you can get a new one cheaper)

but i gave it a shot.

several people have contacted me, many offering $300-$400 which is understandable.

3 people have contacted me that i have questions about

the first one is a woman name sky phelan. she offered $690 and her email sounded a bit robotic. i emailed back saying that the condition of the laptop isnt that great and i hoped she understood that.
she said yes and she would be paying through paypal.

another man asked what the offer was. i said i woman had offered $690 so it has to be higher than that

he said $700 plus $100 in shipping.

the thrid was pretty much the same as the 2nd guy.

now remember this is craigslist not ebay

i know paypal is pretty secure but it is possible to be scammed???

**i also told them both that the laptop would not be sent until the money was securely in my account

is it possible that i could be scammed or get the money taken back or away??
its in great condition its just the top part is a little dicolored and i explained that but i mainly want to know is it possible to be scammed through paypal if you are the seller?

TJK asked:

I am trying to SECURELY send videos to my husband while he is away on deployment. They are too large to email, I would prefer not to have to pay anything, but I don’t want to download them onto youtube and have everyone see them. Does anyone know of a site you can download privately onto or an email account that handles large files? I tried photobucket but it didn’t work. Thank you!

JustAGirl asked:

in like normal letter sized envelopes?

or do they have to be all ‘securely’ wrapped in those fat yet small orange packaging with bubblewrap inside??

and do you have to go to the post office to send it or could it be sent by placing it in your mailbox and waiting for the mailman?
